There is a shard bonus after doing 4 consecutive maps. At the end of the round if you press replay/continue on the map (do not go to town) after 4 maps you will start getting extra shards at the end of the maps as long as you continue farming. Really handy if you are looking for shards in specific levels.

Great stuff!!
The other thing to mention is that new players need to follow the quest lines to gaurantee 1 destruction, 1 deadly strikes and 1 def rate, 1 burning strikes shards.

Also, I'd add boosted grasp in c3 is also really good as it allows enem6to reveive more dmg in the flame aura due to enemies being slowed down. Not required, but it can really make a big difference, especially early game.

First thing I did was all the inventory space, then I got the mercenary (the archers and spiders carried through early game) then ev2 I found the reflect beam with even only random shards helped with pushing up to end tier I also still only have guilded destruction it’s a long process and newer players I think wouldn’t want that grind right away

This is helpful! I’ll be sure to spend my medals on these shards after I get the heroes I wanna play with. I can at least grind their chaos level while waiting for that. :D

Splosion mods are S+ from early to early end-game, the same goes for some specific defense mods, like the tesla tower mod.

I have one question for you :
What is the best hero Dryad or Mercenary ?

And the shard defense rate can be use on dryad tower likes bee ?

[topriv]

You should make update video about all defence, mod shards etc

[Dne-O-SAur]

That's right boys, shards will get you anywhere!
And perhaps the wording was a little confusing for some. Defense rate mods only make the atk rate of a tower when they give +40% atk rate (only happens when the mod it at chaos 8 level and it is a 10/10 mod). Defense rate shards when not guilded they will give around 35% atk rate, meaning that you will not get to "max atk rate" untill you guild it (guilded it gets you 41% atk rate).

Also, unless you are in endgame: All heroes work! Any of them, if you're buying one you can get the one you like the most!

Hey, super helpful video! I was wondering how the free2play experience is for players who choose to never spend money, especially when it comes to things like the inventory you mentioned. Can I still have a fullfilling experience or will I feel absolutely pressured into spending money to have proper fun?

[FoxiestLia]

Cries in only having the Witch built properly… can pretty much clear Chaos 6-7 without any towers for clear, only slight help from knocking assassins off… but it’s 100% active playing. No tower defence…

Would really need help on where to start the grind in order build a proper character for tower defence. (Been debating the clouds of the Dryad and the world tree and just spam that)
